The Parish Church of Cachopo, also known as Church of Saint Stephen.
Technically, speaking, this church was built circa 1535. But, looking at it, you won't find any XVI Century architectural elements, since this temple was completely rebuilt circa 1950.
Can we still say this is the same church that was originally built by the people of Cachopo in 1535? Or is this just a mid-XX Century building that carries the historical memory of an old church from the XVI Century that existed in this very place?
This example is a good startng point from some reflexions about the historical heritage that I pretend to incorporate in my PhD thesis: aren 't all hostorical buldings just a memory of something that, actually, existed in that very place?

Toby Finn Regbo as Francis Valois
Fuggite, amanti, Amor, fuggite ’l foco;
l’incendio è aspro e la piaga è mortale,
c’oltr’a l’impeto primo più non vale
né forza né ragion né mutar loco.
  Fuggite, or che l’esemplo non è poco
d’un fiero braccio e d’un acuto strale;
leggete in me, qual sarà ’l vostro male,
qual sarà l’impio e dispietato gioco.
  Fuggite, e non tardate, al primo sguardo:
ch’i’ pensa’ d’ogni tempo avere accordo;
or sento, e voi vedete, com’io ardo.
(Michelangelo Buonarroti, "Fuggite, amanti, Amor, fuggite 'l foco",  Rime, XVI Century)

Che può sperar mia voglia
se non morir di doglia?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Né posson buon novelle
venir per gli occhi al core
dalle duo luce belle,
e ’l più pregarne Amore
di secondo favore
Tumblr media Tumblr media
è tardo al gran martire;
però convien morire.
(Jacopo Sannazzaro, "Che può sperar mia voglia", from Rime disperse, XXXII, XVI Century)
